    Posted: 26 Oct 11 at 4:58AM
Here is some C# code I wrote to scale all pages on a PDF by 70% and it shows how to use CapturePage.  It also shows how to construct the loop to process all pages and maintain the original page order. 

  private void button8_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
  { 
    File.Delete("newpages.pdf");   // Delete the old file just in case.

    double pageWidth, pageHeight, horizBorder, vertBorder;
    double scaleFactor = 0.70;     // 70 % scaling reduction.
    int capturedPageId;
    int ret;

    QP.LoadFromFile("Pages.pdf");
    QP.SetOrigin(1);

    int numPages = QP.PageCount();
    int pageId;

    for (int i = 1; i <= numPages; i++)
    {
       QP.SelectPage(1);                       // Always select page 1 as the pages get deleted.
       pageWidth = QP.PageWidth();
       pageHeight = QP.PageHeight();
       horizBorder = pageWidth * (1.0 - scaleFactor) / 2;
       vertBorder = pageHeight * (1.0 - scaleFactor) / 2;

       capturedPageId = QP.CapturePage(1);     // This deletes the page from the document.

       pageId = QP.NewPage();
       QP.SetPageDimensions(pageWidth, pageHeight);

       ret = QP.DrawCapturedPage(capturedPageId, horizBorder, vertBorder, pageWidth - 2 * horizBorder, pageHeight - 2 * vertBorder);
     }

     QP.SaveToFile("newpages.pdf");
     System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"newpages.pdf");
   }

Hello,
 
I am using QuickPDF Library 8.11 Active-x in a VB 6.0 program.  It uses LoadFromFile to load PDF documents, overlay the bottom part of the PDF with a box and some text then print them.
 
I would like to reduce the size of the content for each page so that it appears on the top 80% of the page and add the box and text at the bottom so that it does not overlay the original PDF page.
 
Will this sample code allow me to do that?
 
It should not be a problem for me to convert to VB 6.0.
 
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Tony

Yes.  It will work very well.

1. Change   scaleFactor to 0.80  for 80%.

2. You will need to move the image up the page a little as the current implementation centres in on the page.  The following change should do what you need.

  ret = QP.DrawCapturedPage(capturedPageId, horizBorder, vertBorder * 2, pageWidth - 2 * horizBorder, pageHeight);

Also : You are entitled to a free upgrade to 8.14 which has many bug fixes and improvements.  It can be downloaded from  http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/products/quickpdf/updates.php

You can't set it directly.
All related functions are working with top, left, width and height - so you have to do some calculations ;-)

Cheers,
Ingo
